[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It no longer matters what we think a ‘good score’ is. I. The world of TO, the colleges are competing with each other’s published scores, which are skewed because of TO.
If the score helps the published median, submit. 
If it does not, do not submit.

This is bad advice.  Was only true for certain types of students anyway, but to assume this upcoming cycle like past cycle or two a mistake.  Schools already have been showing signs of being test aware last cycle.[/quote]

You are wrong. Try to understand nuance.
You’re the same poster who comes on here railing about test scores every week.

I agree that in a few years test optional will be totally gone. But for the next cycle, some schools will still heavily favor test optional to shape their class. Especially those in the bottom half of T25.[/quote]

I’m not actually, and I would bet that there are many posters who favor use of test scores here.  College consultants are the ones saying that things are not static and  test scores matter more this cycle than last, and mattered more last cycle than the one before.[/quote]

I think it truly depends on the school.

Yes ofc it matters more this past cycle at certain schools than it did before and I guarantee it will matter more at certain other schools next cycle… We know what those are. Dartmouth, Yale, Brown. And more ivies/T10.

But a lot of schools have intentionally not come out and said they are even test aware. Why? These schools are typically T15-T25 or lower and they have really benefited from test optional. That’s what our private College Counselor has told us. 
The decision to submit scores is based on thorough data analysis. Not an automatic reflex.[/quote]
